Ah, so true, Crawdaddy But I didn't bring my blahness, just an interesting thought for the fans to chew on.

I figured that was OK!

Take care,

In the current Entertainment Weekly, there's a good article on the making of T3.

Among the many tidbits: Arnold threw in $1.4 million of his $30 million salary to pump up the crane chase. He also came up with the idea of slamming the TX headfirst into a toilet bowl, which he also wanted to have something floating in it, but that "nugget" (no pun intended) was nixed.

A good read. Check it out.

Here's one possible explanation of how the TX knew to go to the Animal Hospital: If John is such an important leader in the future, I'm sure there is some documentation around about his early life's struggles. His meeting with his future wife, therefore, should be common knowledge. Since the machines knew they would meet at the Animal Hospital that night, that's where the TX was sent. If nothing else, she probably knew that Kate would be there.

yeah, the TX comes to the animal hospital to kill Daines. She finds the bloody bandage and licks (which was a very cool ability) and it matches the primary target which is Connner.

Here's one plot detail in T3 I have trouble with:

In T3, the T-850's power cell becomes damaged. He chucks it, and it explodes in a mushroom cloud. If the Terminator's power cell is nuclear powered, how come it didn't go off when he got blown up by the pipe bomb and when he's crushed in the pneumatic press in T1, and when the T-1000 impales him with the metal rod and when he goes into the molten steel in T2?

[Robert Crawford]

Richard,
The T-850 had to activate the device for it to explode which he did during both cases in this film. Also, who's the say that the previous models have that capability in their power cells.

You don't need a nuclear bomb to for a mushroom cloud, just superheated air. I've seen a bunch of mushroom clouds formed by conventional bombs. Also, I think he said it was a hydrogen fuel cell. Lastly, if there were a teeny nuclear device on the fuel cell, you couldnt get it to go off no matter how hard you smacked Arnold around. You would have to arm it then activate it and then two pieces of metal have to be smashed together to form a supercritical mass etc, and a lot of stuff in general has to happen for a nuclear bomb to detonate. If you went at an atomic bomb with a jackhammer and a chainsaw all day you wouldn't be able to actually set it off.

Just like how she hits the first guy at the drive through where he was working.

I'm still wondering why they created the drive-thru backwards. I don't know of a drive-thru in existence where the pick-up window is on the passenger side of the vehicle.

I don't think the drive-thru was backwards...I think the T-X drove through it backwards.
